Summit Art

Summit Art is a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to supporting visual art and artists. Summit Art Juried Artist members, who are from the Kansas City metropolitan area, excel in the mediums of watercolor, oil, acrylic, drawing, mixed media, photography, glass, pottery, jewelry and digital art. Our mission is to encourage and promote artists and visual arts in Lee's Summit and the surrounding communities. We do this by providing opportunities for networking, education, exhibitions, events, and recognition for members and the community. Summit Art believes that a diversity of individual expression makes for better art, a better community, and for Summit Art, a better organization. The Summit Art Festival, our annual signature event, is held in historic downtown Lee’s Summit, MO in October. Our Plein Air Festival is held annually in June at Crestview Dairy and downtown Lee's Summit, Mo. Guest speakers at the monthly membership meetings are geared toward enhancing artistic knowledge while offering interaction and camaraderie within the membership for personal and professional growth. Our organization manages several galleries in the Kansas City area including the Summit Art Gallery at Saint Luke's East Hospital and the Summit Art Gallery at Powell Gardens, in addition to many temporary exhibitions at various locations in the community throughout the year.
